Thune Pulls Stunt Before Trump Arrives At Capitol

The word “affordable” was used quite a few times by Thune, which many online took as a subtle jab at the president, given it’s a major political issue in the country.

However, a recent report revealed that Senate Republicans apparently will not vote to pass the Save Act as a way to “get back” at Trump.

According to multiple sources cited exclusively by the Daily Caller, Thune acknowledged during a Republican lunch meeting last Wednesday that some GOP senators oppose Trump so strongly that they would never support the legislation regardless of its merits.

The alleged remark came during a discussion about the SAVE America Act, an election integrity bill championed by Trump allies and sponsored in the Senate by Utah Republican Sen. Mike Lee.
